Alternative to Saint and Sofia Camden trousers

I've been looking for wide legged cotton trousers, not as casual or stretchy as as yoga pants but comfy for working from home and lazing around on the sofa. I thought the Saint and Sofia trousers might fit the bill but the reviews on here were pretty mixed which put me off. Today I found wide leg cotton trousers from a company called This is Anyo - they're organic, UK made, website says good things about sustainability and they're really reasonably priced. I've never heard of the company though and although there are a few good reviews on the site, S&S had positive reviews on their site too! Has anyone bought anything from them or heard of them? https://thisisanyo.co.uk/collections/best-sellers/products/organic-wide-leg-trousers-black?variant=39986666373282

I haven't tried them but I like the look of them

Well what a coincidence! Wink

That was really lucky that the founder found your post 👌

I love my Saint and Sofia trousers - I have several pairs of the apartment pants and they've been so useful for everything from office stuff to girls nights out (and incredibly soft and comfortable!)

Lol

Aren’t apartment pants what Rachel pretends to buy in friends?!

Petalpup · 05/02/2022 22:37

Apologies-it was Phoebe covering for Rachel’s sister Grin

Very often companies have alerts set up to notify them when their company and / or website is mentioned on social media.

So I think maybe not a puff piece written by OP, subsequently quickly followed up by the founder.

But who knows (I have history for being gullible!).

@AmyThisIsAnyo

Hi! I hope you don't mind me jumping in on this thread. I'm Amy and am the founder for This Is Anyo, it is a small business set up in April 2021 so still very new! Thank you for putting a link to our site. So happy you found our trousers and like the look of them! Yes these are made in the UK and are our best selling style so far. We are on Etsy and there are quite a few reviews on there if you want to have a look at what some of our customers have said, or I'm happy to answer any questions on here or via the website contact form :) thanks! Amy x
I've had a look and they look lovely, but I'm a short-arse! If your model is 5'8" then they'd be way too long for me. Do you have a petite version?

Great will give them a try .

I also love the m and s ones , and also Abercrombie wide leg

pikapikapukachu · 06/02/2022 13:40

@stevalnamechanger did you get to see the comment before it was deleted to see if they do have a petite option?Grin

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 06/02/2022 18:13

Definitely not a puff piece, I had never heard of the company until yesterday, and I'm suspicious of website reviews but for some reason trust you lot to give a brutally honest opinionGrin

That's good to hear @EatSleepRantRepeat that you like your S&S trousers - I think they look great in the pics but the thread I saw was more of a mixed bag so that put me off ordering.

I bought these wide leg pants from M&S in their sale yesterday for £4.99! 😀

Are they cotton @tigerbear? If so, I'm hotfooting it to M&S after work tomorrow!

@TheGirlOnTheLanding they’re viscose/polyestane. Feel very light and comfy!

tigerbear · 06/02/2022 18:33

Ooh, they’re in stock if you’re an XS!

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 06/02/2022 18:36

Sadly very much not an XS, but thank you!

I have just ordered them 🙈 So if anyone else has reviews that would be good!

Journeynotdestination · 07/02/2022 22:35

What happened up thread? Did the company owner come on?!

Annoyedandirritated · 08/02/2022 12:30

Yes!

I couldn’t resist buying them though as they actually look really nice!

No they don't just standard length I think!
